Automatic Setup Bash Codes

Manual Setup

To install Vim-Plug manually, you need to download the vim-plug from:

https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

OR specifically:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

into

~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim

Once done, your vim-plug is ready for use. You may follow the instructions from Vim-Plug official site to add plugins and install.

Automatic Setup Bash Codes

To setup vim-plug automatically, you can attach the following codes into your ~/.bashrc. As you source your bashrc, it will auto-detect vim-plug existence and install it accordingly. Upon that, it will also automatically install all the vim plugins.

Keep in mind that the automation relies on:

curl - the web client to download the plug.vim.

!/bin/bash

if [ ! "$(which vim)" = "" ]; then

        vimplug_path="${HOME}/.vim/autoload/plug.vim"

        url="\

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim"

        vimrc_path="${HOME}/.vimrc"

        alias vi="vim"

        if [ ! -f "$vimplug_path" ]; then

                if [ ! "$(which curl)" = "" ]; then

                        curl -fLo "$vimplug_path" \

                                --create-dirs \

                                "$url"

                        [ -f "$vimrc_path" ] && vim -c PlugInstall -c qall!

                        [ -f "$vimrc_path" ] && vim -c PlugUpdate -c qall!

                else

                        echo "[ ERROR ] missing curl. Cant't install plug.vim"

fi

fi

        unset vimplug_path url vimrc_path

fi

That's all for Vim-Plug automatic setup and and install processes.
